The Taj Mahal:

Built by Shahjehan in the loving memory of his wife, Mumtaz, the beautiful proportioned octagonal structure topped by a perfect dome is balanced by 4 soaring minarets that stand at the corners of the plinth . Visit to India is incomplete without a visit to the Majestic Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is ethereal at any part of the day - blushing in the rosy glow of down or sunset , appearing like a pearly mirage in the moonlight or reflected in the pools of the garden . Perhaps the most moving view of the Taj is from an octagonal tower in the Agra fort further along the river Yamuna . It was here that the emperor shah jehan was imprisoned and where he spent his last day gazing at the tomb of his beloved wife.
